The Heritage

The TAG Heuer Link represents a sporty-elegant collection of the Swiss brand characterized by the integrated bracelet with distinctive links. The WBC131E.BA0649 model mounts the Ronda 1005 quartz caliber with hour, minute, second and date indication. The case features a modern design combined with the characteristic Link bracelet with link connection system.
Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the TAG Heuer Link the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

FAQ

Can a strap be mounted on the TAG Heuer Link WBC131E.BA0649?

Not a standard one with straight bars: the lugs of the WBC131E.BA0649 are integrated into the case and part of its design. The correct solution is a strap built to measure, conceived specifically for this watch. This is the work performed by the <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> atelier, by appointment.

How does the bespoke strap work for the TAG Heuer Link WBC131E.BA0649?

The craftsman takes precise measurements of the watch: lug width, positioning, curve, profile depth. The strap is then constructed directly on the watch, piece by piece, so it adheres perfectly to the case geometry and fits your wrist.

What leather suits the character of the TAG Heuer Link WBC131E.BA0649?

English leather of premium quality is the natural choice: it develops a rich patina over time and respects the understated elegance of the model. Valid alternatives are English suede or nubuck. The buckle should be a discreet deployante or a handcrafted pin buckle, coherent with the stainless steel case.

How long does a well-made strap last?

A strap crafted artisanally in quality leather lasts many years, often longer than the watch itself. Durability depends on use, care, and material chosen. Good-quality leather ages beautifully, developing character; when needed, repair is possible and frequently preferable to replacement.

Why does the TAG Heuer Link from the 1980s remain current with the WBC131E.BA0649?

Because the Link's design is built on principles of proportion and coherence that transcend trends: integrated case and bracelet, fluid geometry, absence of superfluous ornamentation. The WBC131E.BA0649 preserves this philosophy, ensuring a watch that ages well and gains authority over time.
